Application fi1ez1 May 5, 1914. Serial No. 836,489.

7 that the plate with its inner side is caused to bear on the hoof while its outer side is flush with that of the shoe. The cork plate is so shaped as to bear on the inner edge of the shoe with its borders so that the hoof is free on all sides. In order to secure the cork plate to the shoe the latter is provided with inwardly projecting spikes which, when the cork plate is put into the shoe enter the plate on two sides.

The accompanying drawing illustrates the improved horse-shoe in a constructional form. V

Figure 1 shows the shoe in plan view and Fig. 2 is a section on the line A-B of Fig. 1.

As shown the horse-shoe a which is provided with the holes a for the nails has inwardly projecting spikes 0 adapted to enter .thecork plate 6 on opposite sides and thereby to hold the latter in position. The thickness of the plate corresponds substantially to that of the shoe, While its size is such as to be wholly accommodated within the olearance of the shoe. In this way the plate does not at any place underlie the body of the shoe and does not affect the normal tread of the latter.

What I claim is A horse shoe having a plurality of inwardly extending spikes and a cork plate accommodated wholly within the clearance of the shoe and engaged by said spikes, the thickness of the plate corresponding substantially to the thickness of the shoe.
